Paleo Maple Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies

I have always loved meringue cookies. The traditional version are a bit sweet so I had to find a more paleo-fied version. These cookies take time but they are worth the effort. If your maple sugar is of a courser grain then run it through a food processor to make it finer.

Preheat oven to 250. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In large bowl beat egg whites until foamy. Add vanilla and beat until soft peaks form. Mix cream of tartar with 1 tbsp of maple sugar. Add to whites. Mix until stiff peaks start forming. Add sugar one tbsp at a time. Allowing sugar to melt into eggs whites, beating them the entire time. When all sugar is added, gently fold in choc chips. Scoop spoonfuls onto baking sheets. Bake for 1 hour. Turn off oven and allow to cool in oven for 2-3 hours. Cool on a rack, serve immediately or store in an airtight container. Enjoy!

About Me

I am a stay at home Mom to three fantastic little boys. I spend my days just trying to keep up with the mayhem they create. I have a loving and supportive husband. I am an avid Crossfitter and believe heavily in proper nutrition. Food is fuel. You put crap in, you get crap out. That being said, we live in a world where there is garbage everywhere. My goal with this blog is to make paleo more accessible, so that families can stick with it for more than 30 days. I have seen so many wonderful changes in my family since we made the switch over four years ago, I highly recommend you give a paleo lifestyle a try!
